Music technology and audio production

Our music technology courses are run by the London College of Music. Founded in 1887, the London College of Music (LCM) offers ground-breaking courses that are vocationally and creatively focused, drawing on the expertise of our own renowned staff along with an inspiring programme of events, workshops and master classes from visiting practitioners.

We have one of the largest studio complexes in Europe, with 27 fully-equipped studios across our West London campus. The College also has ‘All-Steinway school’ status, so you will be recording performers who are playing the best pianos in the world. You’ll have the chance to work with your fellow students – musicians working in a range of genres, benefiting from being based at one of the leading music and performing arts institutions in the UK.

Our sound engineering courses are run by the School of Computing and Engineering. BSc (Hons) Applied Sound Engineering is one of only eight sound engineering courses in the UK accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with Full Incorporated Engineering status (IEng). 

Our priority at the University of West London is to help you gain the knowledge and skills you need to pursue your career aspirations. We are proud to be The Career University. By giving you access to industry standard studios and equipment, insights from visiting practitioners, and our own inspiring team of lecturers, we are working to ensure you’ll be ready for a career in studio recording/engineering, live sound, audio-post production, consultancy or related areas.
